Diapers for Sale!

Ok, so I bought a HUGE Sams club box of diapers and got into the first package and realize that these aren't going to fit very much longer (certainly not 270 diapers). So, if you have a baby less than 15 lbs, then I could work out a steal of a deal for ya.
They are the Pampers Swaddlers (Yellow Box) sizes 1-2 which goes up to 15 lbs.
Let me know, otherwise I'll just keep squeezing my chunky monkey into them.

Toy needed

Friends: I need a toy bopper (you know the toy that you blow up, has sand in the bottom and you hit it down, then it pops back up). If any of you have one that I can borrow for the weekend or have I'd appreciate it. I need it by tomorrow (Thursday).

Thanks!

Yard Sale

Here's the ad I posted on ksl.com for the yard sale. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=7660776&cat=6&lpid=3

When: Sat. Sept 12, 2009 8:00 am - 3:00 pm
Where: the corner of 50 W and 1980 S in Clearfield. (2 blocks south of Antelope Elementary)

Donation drop off Sept 6-11 at Tana Horton's house. Call her to let her know you're coming so she can let you in the garage. We'd really like to have everything together that week so the Elder's can help bring it all over to the sale and we can set it up on time.

Please pack new (homemade crafts or still new with tags) and used items in different boxes/bags and label the new stuff clearly. We're setting them up seperately. A regular yard sale area and a "boutique" area for new stuff. I'm making some flannel blankets and donating a few Scentsy warmers for the boutique. I also found a plethora of clothing and tote bags with tags still on them while I was cleaning out my closet. If I haven't used it in the last 3 years (since we've lived here) I don't think I'll ever use it. It's nice to clean house. :)

Please let me know if you're making goodies for the goodie stand. The kids are excited to sell lemonade, popcorn, and treats!

Thanks, everyone!

Community Yard Sale for the Carroll Family

Our HUGE yard sale is coming up! This is a great week to get your houses cleaned up and your yard sale donations ready. Old furniture, clothing, toys, books, baby and kid stuff, bikes, golf club... all great ideas! We're also planning a table with NEW items. I'm donating some Scentsy warmers and flannel blankets that I'm making, Barb's crocheted the best Swiffer mop covers EVER! (I'm buying 7... one for each day of the week and one for the bathrooms, just wash them with the laundry and re-use) The kids are manning the food and drink stand, so bake some cookies to donate to the cause!

Tana Horton is kindly loaning us her garage to collect donations the week before the sale from Sept 6-11 and the Elder's Quorum has agreed to help us bring it all over from her garage to the sale on the 12th. Thanks Tana!!! and Thanks Elders! :)

Remember ALL proceeds go to Jenny Carroll and her 3 children, so please come help us show support to our friend and neighbor in need! She's a new widow and single parent and while we're hoping to raise some money for them... we're also hoping to show love and kindness. We want Jenny to know that she is part of a community of Sisters who are here for her now!

Something to make you think

I posted something on my me blog that I thought people might should read.

End of Summer Splash!!

I've been wanting for a while to invite over some of the kids in the neighborhood to enjoy a day of waterplay in the back yard. This has been one of Hannah's favorite things to do this year. So I've planned this Wed. Aug. 19th at 2:00 to follow through.

Anyone and everyone is invited. If you want to bring any fun water things you may have that would be great. We'll take turns hooking them up to the hose. Remember to bring a camp chair if you don't want to sit on the ground (I will have blankets to sit on if anyone forgets).

Come if you can and want to, and mention it to anyone you think may be interested. Our backyard certainly isn't the biggest around but it's got room enough to play.

Help PLease!

So I decided that I wanted to make a braid rug. Not so hard but so much time. Soooo, I wanted to know if anyone wanted to help me out. I have everything cut. All you have to do is braid them together. I figure that if I can get some help it will go so much faster. I will sew it all together and you will be part of my house forever. Please please please!!!!!!

Rewards

So for those of you who still check that blog like good nice ladies should. I have extra stuff from the garden to share. I have zuchini that is huge, we were gone, that would make good bread or pie or whatever people do with it. I batter and fry it so you can only use so much or you will no longer fit through the door. I have some yellow squash and some basil, yummy pesto here I come. I am about to have tomatoes everywhere. They are all about to start turning red and lets be honest you only can eat so much salsa before bad things start to happen. So who wants what?

Petting Zoo

Anyone want to pick up a corn dog at the fair and enjoy the free petting zoo and pony rides? I'm trying to decide what day is best. You tell me.

Still Meeting?

I was wondering if the neighborhood book club was still meeting? If so I have a wonderful recommendation. If you are not still meeting, but would love a good book to read anyway, try "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. I just finished it yesterday-its not a very long book- and I would definitely put it into my top five favorite books of all time. So witty and charming. (Not words i normally use, but read the book -witty and charming are the perfect adjectives.) So does anyone else out there have any suggestions for good reading? I am always looking for new and fun books to read.

Community Yard Sale for the Carroll Family

I think most of you are already aware of the recent passing of our neighbor, Steve Carroll. He, his wife Jenny, and their 3 kids have lived in our neighborhood for 6 years. Their kids go to Antelope with many of our kids. They are also on the rolls of our ward and belong to our community family.

This last month, I've seen amazing compassion and action by sisters in our community in Jenny's behalf. Thanks for showing us what sisterhood is all about. Jenny needs our love and support and it's an inspiring thing to be a part of... participating in our little army for this family.

September 12 we will be holding a community yard sale to raise money for the Jenny and her children. I hope we can all find a place to participate. Our purpose is partly to help the Carroll's financially in whatever way we can, and partly to show Jenny that she is not alone, that we are her sisters, and we're here when she needs us. Please let me know how you can help miriamwang@comcast.net We still need a place to store donations the week leading up to the sale, so if anyone has a cleaned out (or partially cleaned out) garage and you don't mind parking your car in the driveway for a week... please let me know. :) Thanks.

PoTTy TraIniNG

Okay so I think Kaplan is ready to start potty training. Some people tell me not to just yet bc we're having the baby in November and he will just go back to diapers...but the thing is that Kap is very ready and driving us nuts. He tries to change his "own" poopy diaper which of course does not work out good for anyone! Soo..any advice on how to potty train a 26 month old boy?!?

Memory Quilt

Tomorrow, Sunday. Go home eat lunch and run over.

Come meet at my house 101 W 2050 S or Barb's (right next door) to help us begin Jenny Carroll's Memory Quilt. She's already chosen her late husband, Steve's, favorite clothing... the pieces that she holds to her face and clings to during her roughest nights... and she's looking forward to being with us while we cut and sew those pieces into a nice memory quilt. Please join us and show Jenny that her community cares about her and will be there for her when she needs us!

Bring a machine if you have one... or help with cutting and pinning. 

This is the post Miriam put on facebook I thought I would post it here as well so that more people might see it. I hope we get a good turn out.
